Dr. Prather says, "If you want to be healthy, you have to have proper posture. Otherwise health is impossible." In this episode, discover:

--The definition of proper posture and alignment. Do you pass this test?

--Why Dr. Prather says it is "surprisingly uncommon to find someone with proper posture". And how most patients aren't even aware of their poor posture.

--How good posture keeps you YOUNGER and slows down the aging process. And how poor posture can cause neurological, emotional, cardiovascular, lung, kidney, digestive, and pain problems.

--That keeping your body too rigid and straight all the time is actually not a good thing.

--Why Dr. Prather says "injuries just don't happen, but are built up over years."

--How 80% of people tested show one leg shorter than the other due to postural issues, even though only about 1% of people have an actual difference in the length of their legs.

--The importance of the Atlas (the top vertebrae) in controlling the posture of your entire body and in determining your overall health. And the Atlas Orthogonal Adjustment that is Dr. Prather's specialty.

--Why Dr. Prather says the "most important thing" in getting someone healthy is always in adjusting their Atlas. And how he says it also makes "the quickest difference" in a patient's health.

--The corrective exercises (such as the "chin tuck" and "wall angels") to help keep good posture in place.

--How The Prather Practice always starts with deep breathing for their rehab patients as the basis for their posture.
